I Like Assassins, But I Love Creeds
Just a reminder that Assassin’s Creed II comes out today, along with Left 4 Dead 2. Also, apparently New Super Mario Bros. Wii came out last week and it’s pretty good, which I probably should have noted on TR except that I have a hard time remembering the Wii exists. I hate people and playing games with them online, so I have AC2 on its way from Amazon at this very minute. I tell you this so that when TR updates totally cease for the day, you’ll know why.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
